I’ve spent 15 years working my way into this job and am starting to regret it. By this stage I’d always thought I’d be on my way to becoming NED. Instead, here I am wondering whether the investments we’ve made in the past few years will clear their hurdle rates and whether I should I just walk away and start again elsewhere. I know I’m not the only one in this situation.

Might not be a suggestion you want to hear, but after clearing with your Compliance what you can or can’t do, what is preventing you from taking a few advisory or NED roles at smaller but more promising and faster growing companies? Might have to be unpaid to avoid conflict issues. But that way you can make a more informed decision about what you want to do next even if your fund’s bullets have been spent on portfolio companies that are not panning out.
